Mobile Crisis Intervention Services
Immediate Access
Dial 2-1-1 and press "1"
Behavioral health crises don’t happen at convenient times, but they are serious and may require prompt assistance and attention. Our Mobile Crisis Intervention Services offers an immediate response to children and youth, ages 3 - 17, or 18 if still enrolled in school, experiencing behavioral health emergencies in the home, school and other community or hospital settings. This response helps to maintain youth safely in the community and often eliminates unnecessary emergency department visits or subsequent inpatient admissions.
